"Soona Man Ka Aangan" (English Translation: My beating heart is silent) is a song from Bollywood movie Parineeta directed by Pradeep Sarkar and stars Saif Ali Khan and Vidya Balan. About the song This song was sung as Shekhar (Saif Ali Khan) remembers his lifelong friendship with Lolita (Vidya Balan). It begins with their meeting as children and the love which develops between them over time. This song was composed by Shantanu Moitra and sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal. Cultural allusions Cinematic works by Vidhu Vinod Chopra often contain allusions to other important films and works of literature. Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the author of Parineeta, was a contemporary of Rabindranath Tagore; both authors documented Bengali life and social issues at the turn of the century. The 2005 cinematic version of Parineeta pays homage to this relationship by referencing Satyajit Ray's film Charulata, which itself is based upon Tagore's noted novella, Nashtanir. Parineeta 's Lalita is dressed to resemble Nashtanir/Charulata 's Charu (Madhabi Mukherjee), particularly during the song "Soona Man Ka Aangan", which incorporates Tagore's song "Fule Fule Dhole Dhole." In both Parineeta and Charulata, "Fule Fule Dhole Dhole" is sung while Lalita and Charu are each on a swing , .
